ProChile along with these seven companies invite attendees to visit the Chilean Pavilion (# 6829) to learn how they have developed new technologies and innovative processes to ensure the production of consistent, top-quality products. Attendees are encouraged to taste the best wines, Chilean seafood, meats, organic fruit purees, olive oils, natural canned fruits and vegetables from Chile.

Both Chilean Chef Kathy Medel and Chicago celebrity Chef Julius Russell will use these products to create exceptional dishes that highlight the great flavors of Chile.
